What brands of baby formula are linked to an increased risk of NEC in newborns?

Similac and Enfamil are the two most highlighted brands of cow's milk-based baby formulas. While they are the ones most talked about, in general, it's actually baby formula derived from cow's milk that is linked to an increased risk of NEC in newborns. Similac and Enfamil are not the only ones. Countless other baby formula brands are cow's milk-based.

In recent papers, baby formula derived from cow's milk has been associated with a greater likelihood of premature newborns developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Listed below are some brands of baby formula facing NEC-related legal battles:

  • Baby's Only
  • Bobbie
  • Earth's Best
  • Enfamil
  • Go & Grow
  • Happy Baby Organic
  • Holle
  • Kendamil
  • Loulouka
  • Parent's Choice
  • Similac
  • Up&Up Infant Formula

Keep in mind that this is not the complete, exhaustive list of baby formula brands that may carry risks for NEC in newborns. Several other brands are also derived from cow's milk, and approximately 80% of baby formula on the market are cow's milk-based.
